I'm an italian fantasy writer and....you know, whenever it comes to write down a good battle, I know where to come in order to find passion and inspiration. Thanks Apollo
On behalf of the proud Italian people, I thank you for your moving depiction of our accent. Kidding of course, beautiful commentary. Love the Italian wars, and I hope you'll play some yourself. Always supporting my man Apollo..
Epic!! I Didnt realize Venice fought any land battles like this. Also Italians used stone mostly, not timber, so the Tudor looking buildings would not be found in Sicily
Fanti da Mar where a special type of venetian medieaval infantry, made for melee on the galleys, for landing battles and to protect the territories over sea
Hey Apollo, I have been watching you for a little while and while I love your commentary and Replays. I would also kinda like to see you play some campaigns. Seeing you have to do actual objectives in creative ways would not only be awesome to watch but also helpful for some.
Pixelated Apollo Oh seriously? I'm following you for more than one year, but I probably missed it x). Thanks for your answer, don't stop your great videos :D
That last sentence is so true, if you are outnumbered in any way in Attila it is an auto lose if the difference is 200+ men, that is why I prefer Medieval 2. Keep up the great content Apollo I love what you do and I also love the Byzantines ;)
OOOOH HELL YESSS the Italian factions in this mod (my favorite tw mod/game) besides the Duchy Of Saxony so this will be dooope :D Also Apollo PLEEAAAASE play more of that Pike and Shot mod you played a while ago that was rlly rlly cool and I'd absolutely love to see more Whatever happens you're always the best and make the best content, Apollo
At 25:20 my general got stuck on a unit and died. After that every unit just wanted to give up within seconds of seeing combat. The pikes you saw inside the "castle" literally popped their heads out the gate and routed.. They weren't even the Sicilian ones, they were cowardly HRE troops... A lot of crossbows were late retreating as they were all by the walls with the swords, firing over them at the units coming out of the siege towers. The far right side was all skirmishing, going well until my general died, which is when it went to shit and a lot routed leaving the crossbows alone. It was hard to balance the 3v2 in this game. I limited them to only 16 units each but the attackers got weary at me asking em not to use chevs, go easy on tier 3 units etc. So this was the result. More of a time game. Next time will have to have a reinforcement army act as the balancer and have 2-3 weak defenders hold the victory point till they arrive to mop up.
Apollo, have you seen the show "The Last Kingdom"? It's such a spectacular display, in tv format, of what I love so much about TW battles. If you haven't, you should definitely check it out 😁
Pixie, I've always wondered, where do you get the screenie of the army comps? Do the players send it to you? Or do you go into the game, pick the same units the screenshot?
Italian here. Guelphs and Ghibellines were two political faction in Florence. The first ones wanted the Pope to have also political power and were divided into black and white Guelphs (Dante Alighieri was a white guelph because he wanted the Pope and the Emperor to divide their powers, while the black ones wanted the Pope to have all the power). The Ghibellines wanted the Emperor to have all the political power in Florence. The fights between the two factions are the reason behind Dante's exile from florence. So no kingom of Sicily and Venice involved...
i'm italian and oh my god its fantastic how did you pronounced spadaccini exept that continue like now your video are the greatest total war video that i've seen
Pixy my 1212 ad mod is not working properly - the models arent loading, i followed your insturctions perfectly and the models just arent loading (in battle)! please help
I got attila because of you, i love the fire effects. So far it is my favourite total war game, however i would like to get the winds of winter (the game of thrones mod)...i think its that one, where would i find it?
james midd ...not in my playthrough...well...in my first one she jumped, in the second and third she's all good :D so erm...it depends if you reloaded the game several times in order to save her xD
Apollo is there a way for the modders to make a mixing of Games Of Thrones vs Third Age ? would love too see a Jon Snow army vs an Army of Gondor of the sorts (x
20:03 is that the Latin Empire General? loooll I thought it was dope seeing that lone cavalrymen fighting behind the lines but once I heard the general died I knew it had to be the emperor doin emperor shit
yea you know what the def never win!!!! and do you know what, im gonna sub to you cos of this cos everyone else un subs ;) love your vidios man have benn following you for a year without subing so its about time
Hey Apollo, or someone who knows, how do you see the buildings of the city when you walk away? Because to me when I move away I disappear the buildings ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guelphs_and_Ghibellines The Guelphs supported the Papacy, the Ghibellines supported the Imperial Power. Sicily is with the HRE, thus they are ghibellines.
@@moonknightish lo era, tutto il nord-centro Italia fino agli stati papali era parte dell'impero, mentre il regno di Sicilia non lo è mai stato, Federico II ha appositamente tenuto le due corone separate.
could you make a total war battle tutotial series? the tips yoy give in these videos are very helpful and it would be amazing if you could compile them into a video
Even though the Crusaders never got those ships and took the city because they were waiting for payment and realized they were never getting it and then decided to occupy the city.
Attackers have it easy in later games like Attila. It's only a fools mistake to think that because you're attacking you're the one at a disadvantage. I consistently won 2v2 siege battles as the attackers in Rome 1, and if anything I loved being the initiator. It's child's play breaking/scaling walls, and the extra disadvantage of receiving debuffs when your city is on fire is the icing on the cake. Even as a 2v2 I would still opt for being the attackers every time. If your archers had sufficient cover to deal casualties to enemy troops during the early stages of the game, if those morale and combat debuffs were gone, then we would be looking at a fair fight.
I'm an italian fantasy writer and....you know, whenever it comes to write down a good battle, I know where to come in order to find passion and inspiration. Thanks Apollo
Omg I love Medieval Total War that's why I'm subbed keep it up pixel.

Kidding of course, beautiful commentary. Love the Italian wars, and I hope you'll play some yourself. Always supporting my man Apollo..
Man, your commentary is too funny - the bit about the churches is gold!
Epic!! I Didnt realize Venice fought any land battles like this. Also Italians used stone mostly, not timber, so the Tudor looking buildings would not be found in Sicily
Well Done on the TH-camr of the year award!
I was subbed since 1800 subs, you are an amazing channel and I hope to see you grow into an even bigger channel
I love pixelated Apollo and the videos he makes especially 1212AD
"Look at this,they have a key on their banner. The key to my heart,'cause they look stunning."
Pixelated Apollo 2016
that joke about the key to my heart literally make me cry and be sick it was bad
To be honest that was one of the best siege battles weve seen in a while LOVED the cav charges LOVED that archer fire Lille if u agree!
pixie's vids are so good that i prepare hot coco and some snacks before I watch his vids. magnifique! 👌
Snack. Check
Water. CHeck
Headphones.CHeck
Siege pants. Not checked
dude Im literally doing that at 1 Am while I can freakin save enough money to get a gaming pc! meanwhile I watch APOLLO!
I mean if a building falls on you...you probably aren't gonna live, it's not dumb it's just a pain in the arse.
Fanti da Mar where a special type of venetian medieaval infantry, made for melee on the galleys, for landing battles and to protect the territories over sea
Those Spadaccini are going to become folk heroes in Sicily, especially because they didn't survive.
Oh men I can remember the first time I saw this video .. it was 3 years ago and here we go again
Hey Apollo, I have been watching you for a little while and while I love your commentary and Replays. I would also kinda like to see you play some campaigns. Seeing you have to do actual objectives in creative ways would not only be awesome to watch but also helpful for some.
Amazing video pixey!!!
When will you try the mod called "Napoleonic Total War III" for Napoleon Total War? :D
MrLecourbe already have :D
Pixelated Apollo Oh seriously? I'm following you for more than one year, but I probably missed it x).
Thanks for your answer, don't stop your great videos :D
Pixelated Apollo can you do a trolls vs swan knights in ttw third age?
MrLecourbe what

18:00 that part when Apollo said HA HA HA HAAA 😂😂😂😂💀 I'm dead
There are some really epic shots in this battle
RIP Carrie Fisher.
Sam Craiker :,(
i wonder how many people clicked off the video when you made the key to your heart joke XD
"fanti da mar" literally means "marines"
That last sentence is so true, if you are outnumbered in any way in Attila it is an auto lose if the difference is 200+ men, that is why I prefer Medieval 2. Keep up the great content Apollo I love what you do and I also love the Byzantines ;)
OOOOH HELL YESSS the Italian factions in this mod (my favorite tw mod/game) besides the Duchy Of Saxony so this will be dooope :D
Also Apollo PLEEAAAASE play more of that Pike and Shot mod you played a while ago that was rlly rlly cool and I'd absolutely love to see more
Whatever happens you're always the best and make the best content, Apollo
I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED THE ITALIAN WARS MOD
21:37 This guy is like: HA! No biggie, just lost my body, just a flesh wound.
What i liked most: The story of those who had to decide wich church they were going.
The town looks a lot like the architecture in Bloodborne. And at 29:40 it looks like the Hunter's Dream on fire
that band of the hawk charge in the beginning
"Everyone's going to the right church" Best moment in the battle.
Oh I love pixies sieges great video bro!
congratulations with your total war award!
"I hope you're wearing your siege pants." funny thing, I am not wearing pants.
At 25:20 my general got stuck on a unit and died. After that every unit just wanted to give up within seconds of seeing combat.

Apollo, have you seen the show "The Last Kingdom"? It's such a spectacular display, in tv format, of what I love so much about TW battles. If you haven't, you should definitely check it out 😁
Life of a Soldier for the "Hi Mom!" guy
That feeling you get when your vote changes the "surveys" percentage :)
Oh man I just opened my pizza box when you mentioned faeces.
Legend has it that if you are early enough, Pixelated Apollo will reply.
You should do a commentary where you get super cereal about it 😙
siege pants: Activated!

Spadaccini, Pizza, Berlusconi, Mandolino, Spaghetti...Da leggere con il giusto accento che ha usato Pixie
If I had a dollar for every time I watched missile unit get cav charged on this channel, I could pay for college lol
Pixie, I've always wondered, where do you get the screenie of the army comps? Do the players send it to you? Or do you go into the game, pick the same units the screenshot?
I go to Custom battle and pick the same armies
Pixelated Apollo omg you replied

Pixelated Apollo 29:57 I have found my new screen sawer. :)

So no kingom of Sicily and Venice involved...

It's a worldwide medieval reenactment group

james midd ...not in my playthrough...well...in my first one she jumped, in the second and third she's all good :D so erm...it depends if you reloaded the game several times in order to save her xD
Kate Marsh coolio 😊

Pixelated Apollo Heres the things we both love:UNIFORMS UNIFORMS UNIFORMS :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
11:54 to boys in blue
Is that OG Medieval Total War music I hear??? 🔥
Incredible battle
@pixelatedapollo what graphics card do you use for your system??
970 gtx
These graphics are wonderful
So which ones are Guelphs and which ones are Ghibellines..? lol I want to support Sicily in the side poll but you never actually say which is which..
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guelphs_and_Ghibellines
The Guelphs supported the Papacy, the Ghibellines supported the Imperial Power. Sicily is with the HRE, thus they are ghibellines.
Alfredo di Nuzzo ok thanks
@@moonknightish but Sicily wasn't part of the empire, while Venice was.
@@arx3516 Venice was never part of the HRE. Sicily was for a time under Frederick II.
@@moonknightish lo era, tutto il nord-centro Italia fino agli stati papali era parte dell'impero, mentre il regno di Sicilia non lo è mai stato, Federico II ha appositamente tenuto le due corone separate.
could you make a total war battle tutotial series? the tips yoy give in these videos are very helpful and it would be amazing if you could compile them into a video
Great vid!!
pixie i want to know do you get your games from the internet or from a disc
This was super intense thank you ! I'm buying defenders never win now
Even though the Crusaders never got those ships and took the city because they were waiting for payment and realized they were never getting it and then decided to occupy the city.
When will the campaign for this mod be released?
That's one hell of a battle.
What version of Total War is this mod for?
attakers always win
Attackers have it easy in later games like Attila. It's only a fools mistake to think that because you're attacking you're the one at a disadvantage.

also the defender was a shit Player
